"...Yan Shangshu is accustomed to conspiracies and tricks?" Yang Hao said in astonishment: "How is this possible?"
"Huh," Yang Qiu didn't want to talk more about this topic and said, "I've been thinking about it these past few days, whether it would be better to resign as the governor of the North and let you take over."
Yang Hao was startled and said quickly: "Brother, why did you say this? It's not like you don't know my abilities. You know how to lead troops. I don't know anything else!"
Yang Qiu looked at him directly and said: "Anyway, our Yang family only has one city in Fuping now. Rather than blocking the lord's way, it is better to leave only the family's tribe and hand over the rest to the country...
..... Just hand it over to the lord. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know anything else. As long as you can lead troops, being a prefect will not be a problem.”
Yang Haoqiang smiled and said: "Brother, why did you start talking nonsense?"
Yang Qiu slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, I'm talking nonsense. How can such an important position as a prefect be given to someone privately? Naturally, it should be nominated by the Ministry of Personnel, and then confirmed by the province."
"Thank you for reminding me," he punched Yang Hao twice on the chest and laughed: "The more you have, the less courage you have. I think we dared to lead dozens of people when we had nothing."
Go out and fight. Last year, when the Huns invaded the country with their troops, I dared to risk my life and go out and take a gamble. Now, it’s time to take a gamble again!"
"No...I didn't say anything!"
Yang Qiu said to himself: "But in this case, your position as governor will be gone. So, you go to Yinchuan with me... No, I'll go first. The governor can't leave without permission.
Station. When I finish things in Yinchuan, you can relinquish your military power and go to Yinchuan to help me. Together, we brothers can accomplish greater things!"
Yang Hao: ".........."
The more Yang Qiu said, the more excited he became, "Yes, that's it. There are still some vacancies in the Shangshu Province. With your talents, it is enough to be a Shangshu. If not, you can just be a minister first!"
Yang Hao looked confused, who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? I didn't drink! His brain filtered his brother's soliloquy, and he began to doubt himself. Is it because he drank fake wine?
When Chen Cheng returned to Yinchuan with more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, cheers of joy and wailing of grief soon began to ring out in the city. The trapped camp and the Flying Bear Cavalry had the greatest military exploits, and as long as those who survived
, almost all of them received rewards. The list of rewards submitted by the Ministry of War was quickly approved, and a large amount of silver coins and copper coins were distributed.
However, these two tooth soldiers were the backbone of the main force and fought successive battles, inevitably resulting in many casualties. The injured were lucky, even if their hands and feet were severed and their intestines were spilled, they could still be saved.
But if someone dies on the battlefield, or dies before he can be rescued, then he is really dead.
Chen Cheng could only make the injured recover quickly, but he could not make the dead stand up again.
Therefore, those who died on the battlefield will never come back. The only things that can be brought back are their ashes and things they used during their lifetime.
Yan Xing looked solemn, walked heavily across the street, and walked to a house. He took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand, wanting to knock on the door, but hesitated. He stood there with his palm
He held it in the air, paused for a while, and then knocked it down hard.
"Bang bang bang!"
"coming!"
A woman's voice came from behind the door, and then there was a "creak" sound, and the door was opened. When the woman saw Li Zheng coming with several soldiers in uniforms, she immediately understood something and burst into tears.
emerged from her eye sockets.
"Is it...", the woman said with tears in her eyes, trembling: "Is it my husband......"
Yan Xing said with a heavy heart: "I am Yan Xing, Sima Yan Xing of the Flying Bear Hussars. I am here to return your son's belongings and offer him a pension from the government."
He took the bag from the soldier who was following behind him and handed it to the woman's hand. He said mechanically and numbly: "My son fought bravely in the army. Because of him, he saved the lives of many comrades. He is brave."
He died in battle, and the state pastoral office expresses deep regret for his death..."
The woman took her son's belongings, fell to the ground, and burst into tears.
"Son, my son!" She sat on the ground, clutching her blood-stained shirt, and cried: "I can't bear to ask you to eat more good things... Wu... Wu Wu
....."
"Mom, what's wrong?" A young man ran out of the backyard with a hoe, still carrying dirt. "It's the eldest brother... The eldest brother is dead? How is this possible? His martial arts are so good!"
Yan Xing turned his head, took out a money bag, stuffed it into the woman's arms, and said: "This is your son's pension. There are ten silver coins in total, which can be exchanged for twenty coins. Chen Shijun said that he was very sorry.
, we cannot bring your son back. Please press your fingerprint here to indicate that the money has been received."
The woman tremblingly pressed her fingerprints on the roster, grabbed her money bag and clothes, and started crying again. Yan Xing led the people and ran out in embarrassment. He had seen the situation just now dozens of times. Logically speaking,
I should be used to it, but I still feel very uncomfortable every time.
He said to Li Zheng, "I've already been to this house. You should also take your fingerprints here."
Li retired during the disarmament period. Because of his military exploits, he was given a minor official position and was in charge of seventy or eighty households. He still maintains reserve status. If the war expands, he will be among the first batch to be called up.
On the list. Li Zheng quickly clicked on the list and said with some disapproval: "How can anyone not die in a war? Let me tell you, the master has been good enough to us. He gives us military pay in peacetime and a pension when he dies. In the past,
Sometimes I just dig a hole and bury it."
Yan Xing didn't have much in common with this kind of old Qiu Ba, and he didn't want to tell him apart. He avoided the smell of alcohol coming out of his mouth and said: "Don't forget to notify the documents issued by the Ministry of War. The martyrs' families can
The two sons of Yin will go to school and be raised by the government at the expense of the government. If there are no sons, a daughter will do."
Li Zheng grinned and said, "What if I don't have a daughter either?"
Yan Xing said impatiently: "If you don't even have a daughter, brothers and relatives will do. But don't mix up the order. The Ministry of Personnel will send people down to check. If there is something wrong, you, the lieutenant, will probably
It’s inappropriate!”
Li Zheng chuckled and said: "I know that when I was in the army, if something went wrong, I would be punished. If it was during the war, I might even be beheaded!"
Yan Xing endured his nausea, wiped away the spittle that the other party sprayed on his face, and asked, "How many more families are there?"
Li Zheng flipped through the roster and replied: "There are three more companies here!"
Yan Xing turned around and said, "Hurry up then, we must finish it before today!"
"I know!" Li Zheng said loudly, "Just follow me!"
He raised his head and looked at Yan Xing's back, then showed a sly smile. He thought to himself: You guys just look down on people one by one just because you know a few words, and Nai Gong spits on you, why don't you have to endure it?
With?
Li Zheng took a few steps forward, then thought again: This guy seems to be good at martial arts, but he was promoted to Army Sima so quickly... No, the children at home must also let them go to school.
!
More than 5,000 people went on the expedition, but only 4,000 came back. Although many of the casualties were caused by the Qiang and Hu Yi soldiers, they still had to pay pensions. However, compared to the Ya soldiers, the Qiang and Hu Yi soldiers received less pensions.
That's less than half. And it was not distributed directly to the soldiers' homes, but to the generals who led the troops. As for how much of it will fall into the soldiers' homes, it is completely unknown.
Because of the weather, the Qiang cavalry led by Balibashi and the Xianbei cavalry led by Qubei did not continue northward, but stayed at the foot of Helan Mountain. Chen Cheng let them stay in the pasture reserved by the government and provided
They brought a large amount of soybeans, black beans, potatoes and other grains, and also sent a lot of spirits brewed from grains.
There are not many soldiers and horses in these two units, and there is no need to pay them. Just give them a little more food. The soldiers on the lower level found a sheltered position at the foot of Helan Mountain and began to build tents and dig fire pits to prepare for the winter. The upper level soldiers
The leading generals took the rewards and squandered them in Yinchuan City.
Whether it's spirits, cotton cloth, wool blankets, swords, or crossbows, they're all welcome. As long as you have money, you can even buy standard iron armor in some licensed stores. Of course, at that price
It’s really, really expensive.
The Ya soldiers began to take turns to take vacations, but the officers were not allowed to rest. Although this expedition was not a complete defeat, it did not take advantage. The only gain was to weaken Han Sui's power by half.
Officers at all levels were biting their pens and thinking hard about how to write a battle report. When summarizing the problems exposed, Chen Cheng had no time to relax.
After a series of battles, his experience points were enough, and he finally reached level 43. After adding a little "intelligence" and two more "engineering" points, Chen Cheng spent two days to put the magic in his head
After sorting out the knowledge that emerged, I began to continue designing new textile machines.
There is a lot of knowledge related to machinery in his head now. After sorting it out, many ideas have emerged, but everything must be based on the technical level of this era. Chen Cheng does not want to imagine a certain era in later generations.
Similarly, it would be too sad to be able to design the latest products, but not be able to produce them yourself and have to find others to manufacture them.
It's just sad. It's not shabby to make money on your knees, but when others always use it to get stuck, it's unbearable.
"It is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy" is not appropriate when applied to a country and political power with ideals.
But before continuing to work, there are still some things that need to be done. Originally, there were only tooth soldiers guarding the Zhoumu Mansion, but Yan Zhong later sent back a large number of well-trained girls. These girls except
Apart from doing some cleaning work, the rest of the time is free for activities.
Although Chen Cheng thought it was okay to watch singing and dancing, he had to lead by example and was usually too busy to keep his feet off the ground, so the girls had never had the chance to perform again until this time.
